back in 2001, when i first wore the black/red air jordan 1's...Aaliyah died....the next time i wore them, 9/11 happened....a bunch of other things happened but those two events stick out the most....cursed? I don't know...I know this sounds silly but it's just a crazy reminder of what happened in that time period anyways back on topic lol...
Dammb, saw the thread jump a little and thought maybe we finally had some official pics... Does Jshortt even post in here anymore (since the move)? Dude had all the inside info on the Nike Retro releases...
Cobalts are so ill. I'm probably in the minority here, but I like those more than black joints. *puts on flamesuit*
Naaa, man... Like what you like. If you get flamed for liking what you like, someone hates themself. Back in the OG days I was the only one in my circle who would wear the AJ2s and the 9s, but i love everything about those shoes (at least in the White/Black cw). Gotta do you at all times. If you won't, who will?
I'm with you too. Though, maybe part of it is an absence makes the heart grow fonder thing. The black and greys are more iconic because they were more widely available, have been retroed, worn more, etc. But, on pure pound for pound aesthetics, I think it's the Cobalts by a nose.
to be honest, I think the rarity of the cobalts makes them seem more attractive, I would much rather have the black/grey, I think. Especially since they kinda have that fall kinda vibe.
Ogs were $135, and Nike have put everything up anyway. Are you surprised, or just looking for something to complain about?
If these are a Spring drop, will we see them around April/May? Still waiting for some sort of Release info on these...
Found my old OG (Black/Met.Silver) Air Force Maxes the other day when I was visiting my mom. I was a freshman in HS back in 1992 when i bought those. I forgot that I wrote "MAC" on them, for my buddy who died that year. Ready for these to re-retro, NOW. Some other finds in mom's storage closet were 1994 Air Jordan 3 (wht/cement), OG Air Jordan IX, OG Air Force 5 low, OG Air Max Burst, Air Jordan V (white/silver), among a few others. All of these are BEAT, but certainly brought back some memories when I pulled them out. I'ma go back this weekend and see what else I can find.
are you a herb or a cornball? plus its has not have. nike hasn't raised the price on every release anyway. and the 06 joints were 110, and I don't remember what the originals were in 1993, all i know is that i had them. what was your point exactly?
WHY WONT NIKE RELEASE THE COBALTS...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... THEY KEEP RELEASING THAT NAVY CRAP AND THOSE WHITE/RED ONES THAT ALWAYS GO ON SALE...
Im starting to think its da same bunch of kicks from years go relabeled lol. Da air force max CB have been criminally neglected..
